Hi!
I would like to build budget poker computer. I already have peripherals and monitors, so I just need computer components. It will be used for just 2D graphics for poker clients, skype,teaviewer streaming, camtasia recording and some basic video conversion and those poker programs. So I am pretty sure i5 for budget would be best and probably i7 would be perfect and 8GB ram for budget and SSD disk. i5 graphics is already good enough right? No gaming and upgrading will be done.
its in EU Slovenia, that is why I write the prices and some different options. The plan is that SSD 250gb should be enough for OS , programs and poker database, for pictures and music and camtasia videos, they will be stored to mobile disk.

1. Which PSU would you choose, is 350W enough? and Antec good?

Would love to get suggestions about my choice:

CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor (€176.63 )
Motherboard: ASRock H97 PRO4 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard (€86,61)
Memory: G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (€68,30)
Storage:Crucial BX100 250GB 2.5; Solid State Drive (€95,94)
Case: ZALMAN ZM-Z1[/url] (€32,54€ )
Power Supply: ANTEC (VPF350) 350W 80 Bronze (€47,26)
Total: €507.28€

Power Supply options:
Power Supply:CORSAIR VS 350W CP-9020052-EU[/url] (€38,97€)
Power Supply:ENERMAX TRIATHLOR ETL300AWT 300W, 10PENE0433[/url] (€46,25)
Power Supply:XFX Pro450S (P1-430S-XXB9), 430W[/url] (€46,70)
Power Supply:EVGA 430 bronze430W[/url] (€54,51€)
Power Supply:CORSAIR napajalnik ATX 430W CX (CP-9020046-EU)[/url] (€55,34)
Power Supply:SEASONIC SS-400ET 400W, 10PSEA0037[/url] (€55,86)

2. So what do you guys think, should I choose other components?

I was also thinking a lot about some Asus mobo as I am a huge fan, but its 20€ difference. Also CPU 4590 is 25€ difference etc.

thank you a lot for any help and suggestion!

Looks good to me. I'd look into the Samsung 850 EVO instead of the Crucial, as it's speeds are about 14% faster. Both are good choices, though.

I would go for the XFX power supply. Power Supplies made by SeaSonic are the best of quality. Antec and XFX power supplies are also made by SeaSonic. The XFX one is cheapest of all, and it's still 80+ Bronze. Hell, 200W is enough for your computer, haha.

Oh, and try to avoid Corsair's CX/Builder series.

Any case is good as long as it's sufficient, and you like it.
